|
If so instructed by your teacher, print out a worksheet
page for these problems.
Given the following constraints, use
FoilSim
to design an airplane wing that
generates 15,000 pounds of lift. Use the table shown below to record
your answers.
- The maximum airspeed of the plane is 115 mph.
- The airplane must be able to fly at an altitude of 35,000
feet.
- The maximum angle of attack the airplane can achieve before it
begins to stall is 5 degrees.
- Record your values for Thickness, Camber, and Area.
